Christina
From
United StatesAmazing and interesting place! It used to be a pub, so there's a bar in the living room. Host provided peat charcoal to burn in the little fireplace. Large "commercial" kitchen that used to support the pub, so don't expect a stylish residential kitchen. That said, there are two refrigerators and lots of prep space. Bathroom is very minimal, but my grown daughters LOVED staying here with the neighbor's animals straying into our yard, the dart board in the living room, and the beautiful rustic surroundings outside of the city. Everyone got their own bed, and there was lots of room to spread out for a family of 5. Would highly recommend staying here if you want a taste of local color (**Note: if you're looking for a polished hotel or professional bed and breakfast, this is not the place.**)

The house is perfect and an ideal location for all main Orkney attractions on the main island. We also loved the hot tub and the weather was great for most of the week. Plenty of space to chill and relax. Excellent space for a family of 6 and loved the living room upstairs. Very novel but works very well. Everything needed for a top notch self catering house. And the welcome pack was AMAZING! A fantastic touch by Sarah the host. Highly recommend.

The lodges were a dream come true for our kids. They loved staying in what they called the ‘tiny house’ and didn’t want to leave. We had the family one with the hunks beds. Sitting in the hot tub with a view out over farmland to the sea was lovely.

The lodge was in a nice countryside location. It was immaculate and the interior was very tasteful. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub taking in the sea view. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone wishing for a base to explore Orkney.

The location was excellent, close to the neolithic sites and not too far from Kirkwall, where all groceries could be bought.
The lodge was spotlessly clean and cosy and warm. It is a bit small, we were only three, and it takes a bit of getting used to the small area available but in the end everything was available, even the cooking area was more than OK. Nice to have a hot tub, which we used twice, inspite of the bad weather on our second day.
